Whenever I tell people that I am a middle school teacher, I get many of the same responses. “I could never do what you do”, “You must be so brave working with children all day”, or “How do you keep your sanity”. When I mention I teach at a virtual charter school, I get a few eyebrows raised, maybe some “How does that even work?” or “Why would you want to teach from home?”.

As the new school year approaches, it's natural for a whirlwind of questions to dance through your mind: What will my teachers be like this year? Can I manage all my new subjects?

As the school year approaches, there's no better way to get back into the swing of things than with a good book. Reading not only helps everyone get back into school life, but it also offers all of us a chance to bond with our families! I can always remember the discussions and even sometimes arguments with my brother and mother as we would read through our favorite books together. Here are some of my top picks for novels that are perfect for back-to-school reading.

At PA Virtual Charter School, we're proud of our students' passions and their impressive abilities to impact the community. Today, we spotlight Mason Jones, a 12-year-old student whose interest and knowledge in road safety has turned into a viral campaign for making change to the roads you drive on. We could all learn from Mason and the positive impacts he makes for all Americans. Known on TikTok as the “Guardrail Kid,” Mason has captured the attention of thousands with his insightful observations about damaged and unsafe guardrails in Lancaster County and beyond. His daily videos do more than educate, they have prompted significant action from transportation officials, leading to safer roads for everyone! I have a hard enough time convincing our government officials to fix our local potholes!
